How do I make sure my final pdf version of the manuscript has all the fonts embedded in it?

Open the PDF document with Adobe Acrobat, select "File" -> "Document Properties ..." (in some versions "Properties ...") and select the "Fonts" item. This will list all the fonts in the document. Check the following:

All fonts are listed as "(Embedded Subset)"
All fonts are of type "Type 1", "Type 1C" or "TrueType"
